The focus of the course includes global concerns about determinants of maternal and child health, alongside exploration of the impact of government policies on the provision of care. In addition, it enables practitioners to enhance their critical and analytical skills through application of theories and concepts underpinning relevant areas of practice. Key aspects of study include:

• Determinants of maternal and child health (national and international perspectives). • Specialist and generic knowledge required for collaborative working in maternity and children’s services. • Research methods and critical enquiry.

The overall aim of this postgraduate course is to enable midwives, nurses and other professionals nationally and internationally to explore issues surrounding the health and social care of women, children and young people, while considering their own unique role in service improvements. It also provides participants with the opportunity to research, in depth, a specific area of maternal and child health related provision/care through the masters level dissertation.

• All assignments are designed to focus on application of theory to the student’s area of practice. • Key elements of the course are interprofessional and include global and crosscultural perspectives. • This interprofessional MSc is open to a wide range of professionals working in health and social care. • Collaborative course development and delivery draws on relevant expertise from policy makers, service providers and practitioners at the leading edge of care provision.
